Honda's entry into the very light jet (VLJ) market, HondaJet, features several innovations that help it achieve far better fuel efficiency, larger cabin and luggage space and higher cruise speed than conventional aircraft in its class. The result of 20 years of aviation research, key HondaJet innovations include a patented over-the-wing engine-mount configuration, a natural-laminar flow (NLF) wing and fuselage nose, and an advanced all-composite fuselage structure.

SABLE-3 was launched on Saturday, August 11th, 2007, at 9:31 AM with a payload, consisting of a Nikon Coolpix P2 digital camera set to take 1 image every minute and a Byonics MicroTrak 300 APRS Tracker, that the Kaysam 1200 gram balloon carried to over 117,597 feet. The last payload camera photo from the ground was just before it was launched, at 9:31 AM, and the last photo before the balloon burst was the photo above, at 12:01 PM, exactly 2½ hours or 150 images later.

Reposting my comment from elsewhere: Hmm, it looks like if your target is 200 ft away and your beam is even one degree off perpendicular to the surface of the glass, your laser and your detector will have to be roughly 7 feet apart. So if you want to use this from “hundreds of feet away”, it’ll be really inconvenient unless you’re damn close to perpendicular.

NeuroSky has developed a cost effective bio sensor and signal processing system for the consumer market. Our wearable technology unlocks worlds of new applications such as consumer electronics, health, wellness, education and training. The neurons that comprise the brain work on electrical impulses. The last century of neurological research has shown us that brainwaves of different wavelengths indicate different emotional states, like a focused awareness, a meditative state, or drowsiness. Brainwaves have been used in medical research and therapy for years. We're bringing it to the consumer world. See less

A landmark study is the first ever to record visual images of the human brain as it actively suppresses distracting memories. These findings reveal why remembering details isn’t necessarily a good thing. Dr. Anthony Wagner, senior author of the study conducted at Stanford University, points out that people often have a difficult time remembering new passwords, because our brains get distracted by all of the other past and present passwords rattling around in our heads. Dr. Wagner says that if the brain can block out the distractions, or essentially forget the unnecessary digits or words, the easier it is to remember the new ones. See less

Student Researchers: Lauren Powell, Brett Forest, and Zoe Huffman Faculty Evaluator: Andrew Roth, Ph.D. Throughout 2005 and 2006, a large underground debate raged regarding the future of the Internet. More recently referred to as “network neutrality,” the issue has become a tug of war with cable companies on the one hand and consumers and Internet service providers on the other. Yet despite important legislative proposals and Supreme Court decisions throughout 2005, the issue was almost completely ignored in the headlines until 2006.1 And, except for occasional coverage on CNBC’s Kudlow & Kramer, mainstream television remains hands-off to this day (June 2006).2 Most coverage of the issue framed it as an argument over regulation—but the term “regulation” in this case is somewhat misleading. Groups advocating for “net neutrality” are not promoting regulation of internet content. What they want is a legal mandate forcing cable companies to allow internet service providers (ISPs) free...

Doctors Are The Third Leading Cause of Death in the US, Causing 250,000 Deaths Every Year This week's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) is the best article I have ever seen written in the published literature documenting the tragedy of the traditional medical paradigm. This information is a followup of the Institute of Medicine report which hit the papers in December of last year, but the data was hard to reference as it was not in peer-reviewed journal. Now it is published in JAMA which is the most widely circulated medical periodical in the world. The author is Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health and she describes how the US health care system may contribute to poor health. ALL THESE ARE DEATHS PER YEAR: * 12,000 — unnecessary surgery 8 * 7,000 — medication errors in hospitals 9 * 20,000 — other errors in hospitals 10 * 80,000 — infections in hospitals 10 * 106,000 — non-error, negative effects of drugs 2 *...

Sferics: Sferics, short for "atmospherics", are impulsive signals emitted by lightning. They sound like twigs snapping or bacon frying. Sferics are caused by lightning strokes within a thousand kilometers or so of the receiver. The dynamic spectra of sferics are characterized by vertical lines indicating the simultaneous arrival of all audio frequencies. Click on one of these links to hear sferics in the audio format of your choice: [MP3] [RealPlayer G2] [NEXT/Sun] [Microsoft WAV] Tweeks: Tweeks are sferics that travel considerable distances through the ionosphere -- a "dispersive medium" where low frequencies travel slower than high frequencies do. As a result of dispersion, tweeks don't sound like sferics. Instead of crackling like bacon they sound like a quick musical ricochet. The dynamic spectrum of a tweek shows a vertical line at the higher frequencies with a curved section (called the "hook") appearing at ~2 kilohertz.
